This weekend, tens of thousands of footballers and netballers across Victoria will wear blue armbands for Road Safety Round, honouring lives lost on our roads and reinforcing a shared commitment to safer travel.
This year's focus is speeding, which contributes to around 30% of fatal crashes and 25% of serious injury crashes on Victorian roads.
At Saturday’s Hawthorn Football Club v Essendon Football Club game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, 291 blacked-out seats will be a powerful reminder of the lives lost on Victorian roads last year. Across the state, players will wear blue armbands in memory of those who have died on our roads and to promote safer travel for all Victorians.
Now in its eighth year, Road Safety Round is a key initiative of the TAC and AFL Victoria, bringing important road safety conversations into more than 1,000 grassroots clubs across the state, supported by this year's Road Safety Round ambassadors Hawthorn Football Club’s Nick Watson and Collingwood Football Club's Captain Darcy Moore.
TAC CEO Tracey Slatter highlighted that starting conversations in clubs, changerooms and on the sidelines encourages Victorians to look out for one another and make safer choices whenever they travel.
See below our wrap-up video from the launch of Road Safety Round held earlier this week.
